Kick back for a few weeks then show up, collect a paycheck, rest on your laurels and don't let them see you sweat for two weeks. Then take two weeks for a 6 hour drive to Indy to pick up a ring and some other hardware. If I were defending champion, that's how I'd not do it.

I have to look at it this way. Is there a real big difference between playing for the 5th seed or the 6th seed in the Lions case? No home games no matter what position they earn. Maybe they might think of resting players up, too.

5th seed means we are playing the NFC east, 6th seed means we are starting off in New Orleans. Thats a pretty big difference imo. I want to see the Lions build momentum, and playing the NFC east is the best chance to do that by getting their first playoff win in 20 years. Playing the saints and then the pack, back to back would suck.

Anyways, what even happened with the D this year? Werent they winning you games last year?

Correct, the D helped finish alot of games off last year,
Don't forget the D has had it's moments this year.

Remember when we shut out you Lions for a whole half this season? and held them to 8 points up until the last minute of the game?

Anyway, its time to embrace the Defense, 15 weeks and no consistent change.

The playoffs are going to be a shootout and I'm glad to have Aaron Rodgers holding the barrel.
